Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to the meeting of the EWRS working groups “Weed Management in Mediterranean Cropping Systems” and “Herbicide Resistance”. The meeting will be held from 4 to 6 December, 2024 in the Concorde de Luxe Hotel, Antalya, Turkey.
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME
The aim of this meeting is to review the different strategies of weed control in order to mitigate the evolution of weed resistance evolution to herbicides and improve the cropping systems sustainability. The Workshop is aimed at students, Ph.D. candidates, as well as established scientists. Despite the workshop focuses specially on herbicide resistance in the Mediterranean Area, researchers working with resistance and its management in other parts of Europe are also warmly welcome.
The workshop will be divided in 5 parts:
- An introduction and an Invited Speakers Session
- A session dedicated to Herbicide Resistance
- A session dedicated to short oral presentation of posters
- A sessions dedicated resistance status in different countries and the International Herbicide-Resistant Weed Database
- A sessions dedicated to Weed Control and Herbicide Use
